Overview

Review highlights modification strategies and diverse applications of polylactic acid composites, suggesting sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics.

Key Points

  • To review advancements in the synthesis, modification, degradation, and multi-industry applications of polylactic acid composites designed to overcome brittleness.
  • Reviewed synthesis and degradation mechanisms of polylactic acid (PLA) as a renewable thermoplastic polyester.
  • Assessed blending methodologies utilizing natural organic materials, biodegradable polymers, and inorganic minerals to remediate inherent physical limitations.
  • Summarized industrial and technological applications across packaging, construction, medicine, and environmental remediation.
  • Identified blending with eco-friendly additives—such as natural organic fibers, biodegradable polymers, and inorganic minerals—as an effective approach to eliminate brittleness.
  • Demonstrated that functionalized polylactic acid composites exhibit targeted utility in structural construction, medical devices, packaging materials, and oil-water separation systems.
